The Spanish government has a plan to prevent kids from watching porn online: Meet the porn passport.
Officially (and drily) called the Digital Wallet Beta (Cartera Digital Beta), the app Madrid unveiled on Monday would allow internet platforms to check whether a prospective smut-watcher is over 18. Porn-viewers will be asked to use the app to verify their age. Once verified, they’ll receive 30 generated “porn credits” with a one-month validity granting them access to adult content. Enthusiasts will be able to request extra credits.
You have to request more porn credits from the government if you need more? Don’t want the government to be tracking this data of you. This is a privacy issue

National IDs, require an ID to connect, limit the hours for kids. Works in South Korea and China - sure it can be gotten around but that takes a certain amount of effort that isn’t worth it for the majority of the population.
No. Not only no, but fuck no.
Then enjoy all of the negative social outcomes of widespread internet addiction I guess.
Bro out here saying Mass surveillance is a good alternative to good parenting…
Either unrestricted access to the internet hurts children, or it doesn’t. If it hurts children, then we have a societal responsibility to protect them from it. “Good parenting” wouldn’t be able to protect kids from lead in the paint, so why would we expect it to protect them from other widespread harmful contagions?
let’s track everyone on the net with their ID. who are you, a Chinese spy?
I didn’t say track, I said control access. I know my fellow Americans tend to bristle at the idea of doing anything for the common good, but I personally feel that the danger of unregulated media and internet access has been well demonstrated in the past hundred years, and that not regulating it in some capacity is just as negligent as not regulating firearm ownership or toxins in the food.
